Founded in 1892 after a disagreement with Everton, Liverpool quickly established themselves as a leading club in English football. Under influential managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, and Kenny Dalglish, the team built a reputation for potent attacking play and sustained success, including numerous league titles, cup wins, and European achievements that helped shape the club’s identity.

Anfield, the club’s home ground since its early days, is famed for its atmosphere, the Kop, and the club’s anthem You'll Never Walk Alone. The ground has undergone modernisation to improve facilities while retaining its historic character. The Hillsborough disaster in 1989, where 96 supporters died, prompted sweeping changes in stadium safety and laws governing football matches.

Liverpool’s main rivals are Manchester United, with their meetings forming one of English football’s fiercest rivalries, and the local Merseyside derby against Everton.

Honours: Liverpool has won numerous major trophies, including domestic league titles, cup competitions, and multiple European trophies. The club’s success is marked by a tradition of attacking football, a strong academy, and a global fanbase.
